New Candies Reviewed

Yet another new Snickers has emerged. It's a rocky road flavored Snickers that they have dubbed the "Rockin' Nut Road Bar". This is perhaps the best Snickers incarnation ever. It has almonds, caramel, and marshmallow-flavored nougat and is covered in dark chocolate. If I have any complaint, it's that that almonds could better be described as "tiny almond bits".
Recommendation: Buy

The next new candy is the marshmallow filled Hershey's Kiss. This sounded like a sure winner to me, because I love marshmallow. I was sad to discover that it isn't actually filled with marshmallow, but rather a thick, partially hydrogenated coconut oil and corn starch paste that really doesn't have any marshmallow flavor to it. The texture is unmarshmallowlike. The flavor is off. Great concept, horrid execution.
Recommendation: Avoid
